The opulent were thrifty,
But the paupers, magnanimous!
It wasn't charity of the 'Big Bucks',
But the role of a teary-eyed, starving elder brother
Feeding his baby brother, the grubs he collected from the garbs;
'Benevolence' and 'charity'
Coming from the fist of the 'Empty-handed'.
A doting boy, Manas, takes care of his infant brother, Manan, after his parents succumb to addiction and live like mere vegetables and wolves waiting for wild drinking and lying on the roads near the gutters whilst their two boys are trying to look at the brighter picture out of a drain.
Isn't this the true emblem of positivity? To give out your last grain of rice and be the mascot of compassion, support and kindness when you have nothing, you are empty-handed; yet you fill your loved one's fists with food, security, laughter and experience.
This is a tale of kindness knowing no bounds; an elder brother carving a dream life for his baby brother and working as his shield, confidante and limitless carer. Both these brothers shed off their rough past and become winners in their own regard.
